The bugs that have been having sex for 165 million YEARS

The bugs that have been having sex for 165 million YEARS: Oldest fossil of insects mating is discovered in China

Researchers from China found the preserved specimen (pictured left) under sediment in the Daohugou region of Inner Mongolia. The bugs are still interlocked and both sets of genitals can be clearly seen. The right-hand image shows a 3D reconstruction of the insects. It is thought the lovers were killed by toxic gases released during a nearby volcanic eruption before being blown by the wind into a lake where they were buried, and ultimately protected for millions of years. This specimen predates the previous oldest fossilised copulating insects by around 65 million years.
